  Crucible Newsletter, Vol.2 October, 2009  
 
Dear Friend,
Every day we see more of the Crucible Institute taking shape. We're very excited, and we think you will be too. Last issue we announced our new book Intimacy & Desire will be released on October 15th. That’s just a few days away! Its supporting web site, DesireBook.com, is already open. This Newsletter is full of other exciting announcements we're proud and happy to share with you:
  • Read an excerpt from Intimacy & Desire
  • Our new social community site, devoted to differentiation and emotionally healthy lifestyles, is about to open
  • Our therapy training program will restart, bigger and better than ever before
The byword of the Crucible Institute is "The Art & Science of Emotionally Healthy Living." Intimacy & Desire is just one example of how we focus on both: It shows you how to apply helpful tools to improve your life in ways that reflect who you are and who you want to be (art). You also get the latest science of interpersonal neurobiology and brain-change psychotherapy. Moreover, we’re starting to release innovative research we’ve conducted that underscores the soundness of our approach. And we’re going back to teaching professionals the artistry of therapy. Emotionally healthy living is an adventure that awaits us all. Let’s explore this future together!


Sincerely, 
Dr. David Schnarch
Founder, Crucible Institute

What do other professionals have to say about Intimacy & Desire?

"The unblinking David Schnarch, our foremost expert at the intersection of sex, love, and passion, has honored us with Intimacy & Desire which teaches people how to have tender, loving sex while learning more about themselves and their partner. -- Frank Pittman, M.D.

Dr. Schnarch is my kind of therapist; his approach is about the connection of minds before the connection of bodies. --Pepper Schwartz, PH. D.

Instructor Copies of Intimacy & Desire

We support the use of Intimacy & Desire in graduate and undergraduate college courses. Passionate Marriage, Dr. Schnarch’s previous book, has been highly popular with instructors and students alike. Instructors can request an examination copy for possible course adoption on DesireBook.com.

Do you use any of Dr. Schnarch’s other books in a course you teach? (Passionate Marriage, Constructing the Sexual Crucible, Resurrecting Sex) Did you read one of these books in a course you took in school? If so, you know a teacher who does. We want to bring together instructors using our materials, so they can trade teaching ideas, methods, exams, etc. Please contact your professor directly (or give us the information and we’ll do it) and encourage him or her to register at DesireBook.com. If you teach from our books, please register yourself.

CRUCIBLE4POINTS.COM
Community Website Opens late October 
A resource for emotionally healthy living

Welcome brain
If living an emotionally healthy lifestyle appeals to you, visit our community website opening in late October. You'll find resources not available anywhere else, including a community of like-minded people. It’s the first social community based on differentiation as a way of life. If you’re tired of meaningless social communities based on superficial interactions and trivial pursuits, Crucible4Points.com is for you.

Self-Discovery Brain

You can learn about a lot of things on Crucible4Points.com, like relationships, sex, intimacy, parenting, spirituality and more. But the most interesting thing you can learn about on our web site is YOU. There’s a unique Self-Discovery Brain, a multi-dimensional personal inventory of your personality, preferences, and interests that gets down to the nitty-gritty. This self-discovery tool let's you evaluate yourself, your present or prior relationship, and your preferences for a partner. You can even compare responses with people you select, like your current partner, or a prospective date you meet in our community.


Crucible® Therapy Training Program
Clinical Training for Professionals

Coming 1st Quarter 2010
Crucible Therapy Picture

This past week at the 2009 Annual Convention of the American Association for Marriage & Family Therapy, we announced the reopening of our training program for 1st quarter 2010. We have been training therapists since 1991, conducting more than a hundred 2-day Introductory Workshops, 6-day Intensive Workshops and in-depth week-long Practicum. Over time we saw the strengths and weaknesses of traditional workshop-based clinical training. So in 2004 we stopped large-scale training, and continued with a small group of dedicated students. We spent the next five years teaching the Crucible Approach in more than 15 countries around the world. Then we started from scratch and designed a new generation of instruction, combining the best methods of clinical training, didactic education, and personal application. We‘ve harnessed the power of on-line interactive training and eLearning systems to firmly set the ideas in students' brains. And we kept our person-to-person training know-how to help trainees learn how to make the Crucible process come alive.

The Crucible® Therapy Training Program is a renaissance in preparing clinicians to practice, combining the fine art of psychotherapy with evolving brain science and modern teaching methods.

The Crucible Approach is now fully integrated with interpersonal neurobiology and neuroplastic training. The Crucible Therapy Training Program combines the best of face-to-face personal instruction, electronic media, and distance learning.
